Thought this would make for an interesting debate. I'm looking for opinions on what the best 4-cylinder motor of all time is. Keep in mind availability, versatility, hp/l, power potential, torque curve, sturdiness, history, etc.

In defense of the Chevy motor, according to the Ariel Atom's build specs, the Ecotec has proven to have a vastly superior torque curve compared to the K20, which is why they started using that motor for their Atom instead.
Also, the 4G63 may include all generations (4, 6, 7 bolt, etc.)

If anyone has any other additions, I'll be glad to add them in if I think they're worthy. I know the H22 and B16 aren't included, as neither was as race-designed as the other Honda motors included.

90-92 Mitsubishi Eclipse/Eagle Talon/Plymouth Laser pre May 6 bolt 4g63 and 4g63t motor. More towards the 4g63t motor which produces more power of course then the N/A. I've owned both. The 6 bolt 4g63 lasted around 230,000+ miles and 4g63t 201,000 miles. Thats my experience with them. So they are stronge engines and can take a vast amount of abuse.

well, since the F20 has the most HP/L of any N/A factory motor, and its in one of the best factory chassis that gets my vote, swap-ability is kinda subjective as you can swap anything, but not like a direct bolt-in, thats what i assume your talking about. type-Ris #3 world record holder for hp/l but i think the L15 from the fit should be mention simply because of the technology of it, and if it were bigger, i think would be a very respectable engine

4G63 without a doubt. Yeah, there are all sorts of other 4 bangers, but none have the reputation of the 4G63. John Shepard, AMS, APR, and countless other people running the crap out of these little 2.0 engines with insane power, let alone for such a small engine...I'm worried that the Evo X wont have the same potential since it will be so vastly different.... DI, all aluminum, more MIVEC...yeah it'll be badass, but how far will we really be able to mod it and get crazy insane numbers again? I only hope the new turbo Lancer replacement is actually powered by 4G63...Mitsubishi knows the importance of the engine:

not to start an argument but what does the availability of something have to to with it being the best ever?

What about the BMW M10?

The BMW M10/M12 was an I4 piston engine produced from 1961 to 1987. Displacement ranged from 1499 cm3 to 1990 cm3.
The engine was designed by Baron Alex von Falkenhausen, noted engineer and race driver. He was asked to design a small-displacement (1.3 L) engine, but felt that this would be insufficient for the company's future needs. Therefore, he designed a block that could be expanded to 2.0 L and delivered it at 1.5 L.
The design was very successful, with over 3.5 million produced, and it served the company for over 20 years.
The M10 engine is also one of the most successful engines in racing. Starting with the European Touring Car Championship, it was also used in Formula 2, then the Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft, were it was turbocharged by Paul Rosche according to FIA Group 5 rules.
The M10 block went on to Formula 1, winning the 1983 championship for Nelson Piquet and Brabham - something which very few 20 year old road car engine designs accomplish. The same applies for the rise in power, twenty-fold from 75 hp to about 1500 hp.
The BMW S14 engine for the first BMW M3 was based upon the M10 block. In the M3, the M10 is still winning races today.

Or the BMW S14?

The BMW S14 is a 2.3 L (2302cc) DOHC 16-valve I4 piston engine. It was used in the E30 M3. The S14 is essentially a BMW M10 engine block with a M88/S38 DOHC cylinder head (minus two cylinders). It has four separate throttle bodies. It developed 195 PS (143 kW/192 hp), or 200 PS (147 kW/197 hp) without a catalytic converter. A special tuned model, the S14 EVO producing 20 PS more. The 2.3 L version has a 93.4 mm bore and 84mm stroke.
Variations of this engine included a limited-edition 2.5 L (2467 cc) Sport Evo for motorsport homologation requirements, and a de-bored (89 mm) version for the 320is, a more affordable sports model made specifically for the Portuguese and Italian markets. The 320is can be quickly distinguished from the E30 M3 by the absence of flared wheel arches.

I considered adding the Cosworth, but didn't really know much about it. As far as European engines, they don't seem to stick with the same engine for too long. Even the Cosworth has seen its age. Almost all of the engines I listed are popular engines to build without a swap, or to swap into other cars. The only exception is the Ecotec, which is a brand new engine, already making a hell of a splash in the performance category.
The 1.8T engine so popular in Volkswagens is undoubtedly well-built, but is oftentimes swapped out, and is rarely built to high standards and high performance, as the other options are.
As far as availability being a factor, you could ask Ferrari to build the greatest 4cylinder engine ever, and if they wanted to, they probably could. There would be 10 of them total and they would cost as much as an F430. Instead, look for an engine that is built to be a reliable motor with power potential, and just happens to be designed so that it makes power without relying on a pure race platform, and all while keeping within the company's design budget.
It takes a hell of a well-built engine to make power on a budget, which is the goal of the engineers that made them in the first place.
That's why the Civic is a great tuner car, why the AE86 is a great track car, etc. Cheap budget, priceless design.
Don't think I'm hating on domestics with this debate, but this is the 4 cylinder design we're talking about. The Japanese have RELIED on a straight-4 layout, and have since come to perfect it better than Americans. Same reason you wouldn't see much competition from Japan in the greatest 8 cylinder engine category, even with the JGTC motors having a stout history.

^I would add them as one motor together, but I don't think I can edit the poll choices, thought I could. :( I figured the 4G63 would take this, and undoubtedly so. It went from a crankwalk fiend to a MIVEC monster. Even as a company that had been near its demise, they continued to stick with the same engine for years, and it's certainly come a long way without showing its age.

What is the 4G63 power record, anyways? Isn't it something like 1200? The SR has done just shy of 1000whp.

I saw this motor up in Charlotte. Pretty sweet looking. Got the info from here:

The General Motors Sport Compact Drag Racing Program was kicked off at the 2001 International Auto Salon (IAS) in Long Beach, CA. During IAS, GM identified sport compact drag racing as the highest opportunity to gain awareness in the sport compact market. The first Chevrolet Cavalier and Pontiac Sunfire front-wheel-drive drag race cars were unveiled at the 2001 SEMA show.

In February of 2002, GM Racing made their competitive debut in Palmdale, California. Since then, the GM Racing and their supported teams continue to race their ECOtec-powered Chevy Cobalt race cars to multiple wins and record-setting performances across the country.

GM's Ecotec engines have proven to be a reliable and competitive engine for use in the Sport Compact Drag Racing Series. The Ecotec engine has a sound base engine structure, excellent airflow capability, easy serviceability, compact size and low weight. These qualities, along with the very successful race program, demonstrate the Ecotec is a driving force in the Sport Compact Segment.

Generating up to a remarkable 1,450 horsepower from only 4 cylinders, the Ecotec 2.2L powers some of the fastest-accelerating front-wheel drive vehicles ever built. Many of the components used in these race engines are production based. The race effort showcases the potential of the production Ecotec to today's sport compact market. Even at the highest horsepower levels, the engine will still remain over 50% of its stock components.

The current 2.2L version of the Ecotec is available in the following vehicles:

And for me, coming in at a close second would have to be the SR20DET. How many other motors can you bounce off the rev limiter with barely any modification and it be totally cool with it?

Rocker arm stoppers, or solid lash conversion and of course a basic maintenance and you should be good. Not saying that 100% stock will yield high horsepower, mad tight driftability. Just that when done right, with very few carefully selected modifications, it can be done.

Not all of them suffer from it. He had an electrical issue causing the ECU to fry. The ecu doesn't just say "hey I'm going to fry myself here" and starts frying itself on its own. I've owned plenty of 1g's and never had this issue. Yes, from time here and there they need the CAPS replaced and so fourth but doesn't have nothing to do with the engine itself and its potential. DSM's whether 1g's or 2g's are prone to break things here or there but when their running... ;)

Nice try with the reliability card... they can be reliable when treated right but with such power its hard to just drive it like a baby. Drive a car as hard as most of us DSM owners do and I bet there will be more "unreliable" cars out there on the market.

There are several great 4 cylinders out there.
But IMO the 4g63 is the best. Normal people (not factory backed) have put these engines well over 1000 whp.
Any car that makes the power that these can will have durability issues.
How many other 4 bangers have run into the 8`s shifting the factory 5 speed.
The fastest car in Pro Outlaw RWD is a 4g63. Keep in mind this is a class filled with 6 and 8 cylinder cars.
When Shep ran pro street tire. He was surrounded by 2jz`s running power glides and was still very competative with his factory 5 speed.
Not to mention the many championships the 4g63 won in rally.
The whole drive train is just amazing for the things it has accomplished.

hondas and sr20's make good power, and are reliable. but they each have their shortcomings.

ps - bouncing a car off the rev limiter and not breaking it doesnt make it good, or else every stock single cam honda motor would be on the list (as proved at gandy over the years).

that is a true testament, revving to stock redline and bouncing (as i thought someone else had said) is not. i just dont prefer motors with rockers.

11-14-2006, 02:50 AM

I'd like to add that while the SR20det is a great motor, it suffers from a few shortcomings.

1. The block is sandcast aluminum. While the sleeves are plenty strong, above 550whp even with studs, people are pulling headbolts/studs out of the block. Its a shame. Had they cast their blocks like Honda, no issue.

2. Hydraulic lifters/rocker arms. Both have lots of problems above stock rev limit. If you have rocker arm stoppers, that keeps you from flinging them, but that doesn't stop the lifters from collapsing, nor does it stop the rocker arms from breaking.

These two flaws can be corrected, but of course it's not free. If you took a stock 4g63 and a stock SR20 and aimed for 600whp, you'd inevitably get there cheaper with the 4g63 and with less parts. If not for those two flaw of the SR, it'd be right there with the 4g63

I've run my stock 6 bolt 4g63 at a constant 8500 rpm for over a minute going down the road in first gear, just to see what happened, and it was perfectly fine afterward. People have revved 4g63s with HKS 272/272 cams dropped into an otherwise stock valvetrain to 9k without any problems. 4g63s have put down over 600whp on the stock block. Shep and Rau are pushing at least 1200 whp- shep was trapping at 191 the last time out, hopes to hit 195 soon. I'm going to vote for the 4g63.

I am very impressed by what the Ecotec can do, however. And I'm interested in finding out more about the M10- I'm going to have to read up on that engine a bit.

*edit* Oh yeah, and my perfect compression shortblock cost me 100 dollars used. I put the engine together on the cheap with new gaskets, my old stock head and have ragged on it constantly for several years since. I once ran it with no water pump flow for over 10 minutes before I realized what was happening, water was boiling out of the overflow but the darn thing still runs great.

I guess it just depends on best for what.

For a inexpensive street car i'd vote either 2.3t or sr20det. They both can do alot of impressive thingswithout tons of mod. Seen the 2.3t over 500rwhp on a factory build 100k short block. That one still runs today. The cosworth motor from the rs200 was cranking out 500hp 20 years ago. If they wanted to build an even more powerful motor they could without a problem.

Hell people crack me up hyping the srt4 cars. Like it make 240hp and like 250tq. Yeah mine did 200 and 250 from the factory 18 years ago. Hell the next slated year that they have some specs and pictues of was 280hp dohc in 87.

But back to the nut swinging! go uh hm ok i guess it doesn't matter.

Just so you kids know though extreme nut swinging will cause a nasty rash and hand cramps!

How much does it cost to import a sr20det to the states?

see, were all taking into account dyno numbers here..a B16 with a 285* (@.050, not advertised) duration and spins to 10k is going to have some really nice numbers for an n/a B16..but the power under the curve will be shitty.

we could have this debate for ever...but unless its an engine build off to see who is making the most peak power, then its pretty much pointless. these engines go in cars/trucks. if your 600whp car can outrun the 600whp truck, whats the point in comparing engines?

well, i honestly dont know....but id suspect Sulzer would come damn close...guessing maybe 37,000hp out of it if they pushed the envelope and tried to spin it 4-500rpm

yes the ecotec is a bad ass 4 cylinder probably the most underestimated 4 cylinder out there simply because it carries a GM badge on it. They have proven increadible results, but 99% of the 4 cylinder crowd refuses to see past the fact that the motor wasn't made in Japan, so they automatically develop a bias against the motor.

The Sti definitely has a nicer interior than the Evo, except maybe in long-duration seat comfort. I haven't sat in either long enough to know that. I don't see how that is a victory for domestic guys. They're both still nicer than the domestic car interiors you guys are comparing them to. At least domestic car companies have been stepping up interior quality in the last two to three years. Besides, you want a real quality interior? Go buy a damn Audi, those interiors are put together ten times better than anything from America or Japan.

Your right, the seats from an Evo are far more comfortable and supportive than those of an STI, but it takes more than seats to make a nice interior.

So people are making fun of the Evo's interior yet the Evo has a powerplant that it doesn't matter what interior it has. This thread is about the best "4 cyl" engine produced not the best interior. The engine produces more power with less cylinders then any v6 or v8 thats out there and its still streetable with the amount of power you can squeeze out of the engine and can still be daily driven. The car was made towards performance. Obviously, AMS proves that time and time again. Maybe some of you need to drop the Hot Rod mags and research some more information on the Evo's because from 2003 till now they have changed a few things over the years.

So, you're not saying it produces more power than any V6 or V8 our there unless you're on crack. You mean more 'power per cylinder'? Thats the oldest arguement in the book. Every cylinder over 1 you run gives you merginally less gains per additional cylinder. Get how that works? So sure, 4-cyls are more 'efficent' than 8-cyls. A 2-cyl is more efficent than a 4-cyl. Whats your point?

BTW, turbo V8 > turbo I4. ;)

But v8 vs. I4 aside...I'm not very impressed by the Evo's powerplant. It runs like 20 lbs of boost to get what power it makes? I'm sorry but on a turbo car I just think you could do a lot better...

How many turbo cars from the factory can just hold 20lbs of boost with no upgrades? You don't get my point because you analyzed farther then existence and what you stated is not what I meant. Re-read.

286hp at 19psi actually. This is with boost tapering, which is easily fixed by either reflashing the ecu or by adding a simple manual boost controller. Its good for about 25-30hp just doing that, not even raising the boost. It's heavily detuned on the top end from the factory. So, say it wasn't detuned, it would make around 310-315hp.

You guys wanna compare dick sizes with interior? Sit in a E46 M3 and stfu. Interior is irrelevant!

4G63 makes insane power insanely easy. Nuff said. Frankly I'm surprised how easily it competes with a V8 power wise...and at the end of the day you can still get a rediculous 27-30mpg if need be.

Also, I'd like to point out the thread of "if you could have anybody's car on here, which would it be"...and Jerry's Mirage was the unanimous winner overall...hmmm..

Oh, and when they make a 4 banger SBC but cutting one in half, then it'll be cool.

err...no, even then it wont..

You know what? Actually being able to get to spark plugs is gay. Spark plug wires, exhaust manifolds, 1 piece 1 head, far lighter design, gay gay gay. Assuming you are talking about pushrod V8s even...what does it take to upgrade the cam? Wow, pulling out the fucking radiator, condensor, fan, and everything else in the way?

What the hell is all this ranting about the EVO's interior? I've sat in them before as well as WRX/STi's........I really dont see the huge difference. The only reason the interior is brought up because its the one part of the car that isn't excellent. The new Evo IX interior is actually quite nice though IMO

What does a motor have to do to impress you then? How about this, can you triple an LS1's whp without changing the factory internals, how about a 302 or modular 4.6? There are QUITE a few 500+whp 4G63's running around on stock block, crank, rods, pistons etc. Even a few that broke the 600whp barrier with all the above. All from a motor that put out 195bhp from the factory or about 160ish to the wheels. THAT is impressive no matter how you look at it. Don't even get me started on 302's.... Those motors split themselves easy enough as is.

Do a couple of little free mods, drop the exhaust, pull the wastegate line and add some race gas and watch the Eclipse run 1.5+ seconds faster than stock for 0 dollars.

Oh, and cam installs don't require retiming. Just zip-tie the timing belt to the cam gears, keep the CAS installed and don't let it spin, and drop in the cams. Bolt shit up and run it. It can be done very quickly once you've done a few.

They actually don't fall off. The spring inside the door handle usually gives way meaning it turns or bends or stretches. Hence why you can still pull the handle but it won't open the door.

btw orion you know a complete LS1 weighs less than a complete SR20?

Fuck if I care, thats cool though :lol:

I've been known to say "I'd rather have two KA24s in a 240SX than one SR20". Torque > HP

The only thing good about a KA is the Head, everything else sucks.

Jk, the motor is alright. but nothing to write home to momma about.

Best 4 cylinder motor of all time is the D16Z6 from the '92-95 Honda Civic EX

Hell yeah! I loved my 93 EX. That motor's gas mileage pwned!

From what I gather, the best 4 cylinder engine ever is a toss up between the LS1, a Firebird interior, and an Eclipse door handle?

all that minus the Eclipse door handle (they fall off)

you could chop an ls1 in half, make it into an ls.5 and it still would be a better 4cyl than the 4g63

How/why would you make a push rod 4cyl?

lol at the LS.5

The 4g63 has gone into the 6`s with a single power adder.
Whats the fastest LS1?

As usual, V8 performance wins...in this case by like 2/3 of a second...which when you're that fast is a FUCKLOAD. We're talking about 4-cyls though. Don't try and compare the damn thing to a motor twice its size. There is no comparison.

Bro...I just got my DSM and it only took about $1500 to get it at mid 13's. What other 4 cyl could you do that to?

Yeah but a 4 cyl being 2/3 of a second slower then a v8 is just sad. I would think having a v8 the v8 would of done better... seems like the 4 cyl is only a bit shy of stomping a v8. I'm not impressed.

Yeah...go check what it takes to get a car from 6.9 to 6.2 and then get back to me.

I don't care what it takes when you have a car thats gone 6.9 to 6.2 then talk.

To me its not impressive when a v8 beats a 4 cyl by just 2/3 of a second.

well when the cars are that fast, 2/3ds a second is alot... now the 1/2 ls1 statement was dumb lol.

and your closed minded and you've been throughout the thread. I would think you would of moved on by now. Learn what ignorant means before using the word. Here ass check out Dictionary.com (http://www.dictionary.com) you might learn how to use the word properly.

Don't get your panties in a wot when your so gun-ho about your v8's and someone like me shits on them in this thread.

If it was 4cyl vs 4cyl then yeah I would be impressed. But 4cyl vs v8 its not impressive to me.

Okay, check out the other DSM owner's post. Now...IGNORANT, lacking in knowledge. Here, let me use it in a sentance so you can catch it this time. You're clearly lacking the knowledge that going from 6.9 to 6.2 requires an unfathomable amount more power than you taking your shitbucket from 13.0 to 12.3. And its wad, not wot, smart guy.

Are you going to disagree with the people who drive the same shit as you who are agreeing with me, now? Oh god, this is rich.

Check out my response to his response. You seem to type faster then your brain can transmit to your fingers or is it your eyes move faster then your mind itself. Your clearly lacking the knowledge when it comes down to what this thread is about. Shitbucket lol... have you seen what you drive lately to call my car a shitbucket. Your one to talk.

dont get me wrong, a 6 second 4 cylinder is crazy fast, but you gotta remember its gonna be easier for a v8 to be faster.. usually... so i think a 4 cylinder bein able to do that with 2.0 liters does deserve alot of respect.

Exactly thats how come I wasn't impressed. It takes a lot more for a 4cyl to get there.

Both motors deserve a lot of respect. Maybe you realize the amount of power. Shaving off that .7 seconds requires something a bit more than 500HP assumming both cars were the same weight (~2500lbs). As I hardly doubt that was the case, I'm sure the V8 put out close to a thousand more HP to shave that .7 off. Hell, if his car even HAD 500HP itd probably be in the low 11s or the high 10s. I'm telling you, its a completly different ballgame.

well anything goin that fast i am impressed with no matter how many cylinders it is....but you gotta realize how much more hp the v8 is makin over the 4 cylinder to go that much faster, it doesnt seem like alot but it is.
